500ml bottle. Hazy yellow-tan body. Big, foamy white head. Lots of active rising carbonation bubbles within. Another well done Lager from Local Option. Not really perfect to style, has some Zwickel tones, more of a country Lager? Earthy brewhouse aroma, some lemony Noble hops. Medium bodied, easy drinking, but very well executed, nice depth. Fresher than most US sold German beer, and probably better ingredients over all. Good stuff.

On tap at Local Option. Outlawger pours a clear gold with a green sprout like lager aroma. Medium bodied with a fairly chewy mouthfeel. The taste is earthy grassy light chewy malts. This is a classic lager with a bit of a tangy fruity finish.

Morning wood is 7.8% and will possibly be exported to Japan, nice! An oak aged american coffee beer. It has the full on coffee aroma you are more likely to associate with a stout than such a pale clear amber beer. Medium bodied and smooth with a sandy round mouthfeel. The taste is fantastic with a really soft coffee flavor that’s incredibly approachable and light drinking great stuff. Another genre bender which seems to be what Local Option do best - I dig it.

Blood of Kings has a hugely dank resinous sticky hop bouquet. The taste is surprising with licorice and other dark malt flavors added to the hops though the beer is a deep copper. A mindfuck kind of genre bending beer - try it at least once.

Half liter bottle courtesy of a friend. Thanks Mika! Pours a hazy rust color with a large foamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of wheat, bread, rye, toast, dark fruit. The taste is bread crusts, rye, caramel, spice, faint dried fruits. Medium bodied, dry, moderate carbonation, slight lingering bitterness. Solid.

Poured straight into the glass to kick up some foam and get a good whiff. Indeed bready smell with a bit of plum and herb. Nose carries some alcohol for a "regular strength" beer. Hazy body is more amber than red, under a big, puffy and lacy head.Taste matches the nose, includes a sharp bitterness like sucking on a tea bag. Enjoyable enough in toto, and the extra nose of alcohol also turns the beer into a sticky coating on my lips. But you need to be in the mood for something that’s not what the big boys call "drinkable."

Hazy orange - thick frothy lace - nose of dusty and doughy yeast, lightly sour.acidity, baked apples, brown sugar, hazelnut - flavor is kind of dull - some flat, neutral yeast at first - then some apple, bread dough, toasty grain character - finish has some peanut skin and some raisin, followed by some clove and dark bread - meh, okay.
